New G.I. Joes

[LordRaven]

From YoJoe.com
"Toy Fair 2005 revealed a huge surprise for the G.I. Joe brand. First it was announced that G.I. Joe in its previous incarnations would effectively cease to exist. The 3 3/4" line is on "hiatus" until further notice while the 12" line has been cancelled. However, this is not the end of G.I. Joe as a brand.

Hasbro unveiled a new line of figures at 8" in scale that will be called Sigma Six; using familiar character names from the 3 3/4" line - Storm Shadow, Duke, Spirit, Heavy Duty and Snake-eyes thus far.

This new line is set to debut on retail shelves this fall with an accompanying television cartoon. These figures will carry a MSRP of $14.99, boast a number of articulation points and character specific accessories."

May be a good decision. There's only so much which can be done with a 3.75in figure (precedent from Lucas). Every other company else going for minimum 6in nowadays, some with great articulation.

8in is pretty huge, almost doll size. Notice they don't look to natural and going for articulation. If they make vehicles, they're going to be huge.

Is there a current GI Joe cartoon on air?

2in scale figures? Seems kinda small... halfway between miniatures and action figures....
